Did you check to see if the file is over 4GB in size?  And if it is, does it 
have EA/EF specified?

Do a LISTC ALL and look at the options and HIURBA and HIARBA

> The message indicates the file could not extend - but it should have extended
> to a new volume.  The DATACLAS for our VSAM files has a Dynamic Volcount of
> 20.    When we did a LISTCAT on the data set, it showed a second volume with
> VOLSER of * and  VOLFLAG as CANDIDATE.   (and Attribute of Extended)

> In order to recover the batch job, the applications group had to rebuild the
> VSAM file, so they did, then the sysprogs moved it to a volume with a lot of
> free space, and all the jobs ran fine.
> 
> We generated a data set listing in ISMF and filtered on MULTIVOL = YES and our
> sequential data sets are successfully being extended to other volumes, but all
> of the VSAM files on the list only had CANDIDATE volumes after the primary.
> 
> We've opened a PMR and searched the database, but we keep thinking we must
> have missed a migration step or something because we aren't seeing anyone else
> reporting anything like this.   Any suggestions?
